Picked this up at a gun show recently is it worth trying to put back to original configuration or no? All matching serial numbers but obviously a sporter.

Barrel is very clean also

sporter enfileds are the final bastion of affordable surplus left in canada. even sporter ross rifles go for eye watering amounts now.

What's crazy is sporter Lees were selling for this same price 15-20 years ago. Inflation left these guns behind they have lost actual value.

I think it’s because the ammo is too expensive for may people to justify it. I love these sporter enfields, though. They are an important part of Canadian hunting history, an a great way to experience a Lee enfield without breaking the bank on an original configuration one.

I think I paid $250 for mine 8 years ago. I did overpay as the fucker painted it. Went to clean it and all the black came off. Wasn't too upset it actually looks better with the blueing all worn

I cried at the gun show I went to last week looking at the prices on some rifles.

G4C or Gotenda has .303 Brit at $2 a round or cheaper if you buy in bulk
